To gain a deeper understanding of the legal landscape surrounding wellness tourism in Costa Rica, TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an experienced attorney at Bufete de Costa Rica.
The burgeoning wellness tourism sector in Costa Rica presents exciting opportunities, but also necessitates careful navigation of legal and regulatory frameworks. Businesses must ensure compliance with health and safety regulations, licensing requirements for specialized services, and data privacy laws concerning client information. Furthermore, sustainable practices and responsible interaction with local communities are crucial for the long-term success and positive impact of this industry.

Binaghi emphasized the importance of connecting with nature as a fundamental aspect of the guest experience, catering to both international travelers and Costa Rican residents seeking tranquility.
Last month, almost 10% of our occupancy came from national tourism, and we always offer special rates because we value the Costa Rican market.

The resort recently hosted the “W Retreat,” featuring wellness activities led by specialist Ingrid Holistic, including sound healing sessions and an intention candle workshop. These curated experiences are part of a broader calendar designed to cater to diverse preferences, from spa treatments and meditation to hiking and cycling through the property’s scenic trails.
